Speech

"I am highly pleased to be in Dumka, which is one of the oldest districts of Jharkhand state under Santhal Pargana. Everything about Santhal Paragana is rich — rich forests, rich farm land, rich folk tales and rich history of patriotism.

At the outset, I pay my respectful tribute to the sacred memory of Bhagwan Birsa Munda. He is worshipped by the people here as "Dharti Abba" and "Birsa Bhagwan". He represents the cultural identity of Jharkhand. His clarion call "Maharani Raj tundu jana odo: Abua Raj ete jana" inspired every adivasi in Santhal Pargana to rise in revolt against British Raj. He was a staunch protagonist of Adivasi rights, and a pioneer in mobilising women in the freedom movement."
